Midnight Peak | C'est Notre Monde Map

Midnight Peak is a 2348 meter high mountain located in Kananaskis Country, just next to the Albertan Prairies. From its summit, you can appreciate the striking contrast between the mountains and plains. This hike will take you to Baldy Pass after a moderate climb, and then to the summit after a steep scramble. Worth the trip but this challenge should not be underestimated!
